WHAT IS THE ANMELDUNG

‘Anmeldung’ means ‘to register’ in German. It’s basically the fact of registering your residence in Germany. The registration is achieved by submitting an Anmeldung form to your local citizens office called Bürgerbüro or Kreisverwaltungsreferat (KVR). This is required for any change of address.

At the Bürgerbüro, you will receive a proof of registration called Meldebescheinigung, which is needed for many official matters, such as setting up a bank account or obtaining a health insurance.

WHEN TO REGISTER

In Munich, the Anmeldung needs to be done within 14 days of relocating to your new German address. Booking an appointment is enough to meet the deadline! Many people will tell you that you need to register within 14 days of moving to Germany, but this is absolutely not true!

Do I need an appointment? It’s becoming very difficult to register without having an appointment, unless you live in a small town. You can book an appointment here.

Health insurance is compulsory for the whole population in Germany: you cannot live in Germany, even temporarily, without being covered by health insurance. There are two kinds of health insurances: Public (GKV) and Private (PKV).

Within 2-3 weeks after having done the so-called Anmeldung, you should receive, at your registered German address, a letter containing your tax ID (Steuer-ID) . Hand it over to your employer, possibly before getting your first payslip.

You need to open a bank account if you want to live and work in Germany: paying a rent, receiving a salary, registering as a freelancer, and so on. Most of the banks require a proof of your registered address and/or your German tax ID.

Anyone who is employed should submit an income tax return for the previous year(s). The tax return has to be filed before the 31st of May. Additional time is granted if your tax refund is done by a tax adviser.
